    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Original Soundtrack

    I've just been listening to "The Muppets" soundtrack lately and I love it! I'm so glad they released this soundtrack as it helps fill in some of the plot points in the movie. And I love having the full version of songs from the movie, like Paul Simon's "Me and Julio Down By the School Yard" and...

    Ask Kermit: All About The Human Body book

    This is a 2002 book that I happened to run across at a used book store a little while back. I was mainly excited in reading this book for this very cool scene in the book. Kermit and Robin are both in the book and in telling the little human girl in the book about how sound works, we have a...

    Your Thoughts: A Special Sesame Street Christmas DVD and CD

    I'm so glad this finally got released to DVD!!! Certainly never saw it coming, but my Walter Muppet fanatic side:fanatic: is quite happy for it! And I do enjoy "A Special Sesame Street Christmas", despite all the knocks it gets. It's fun, it's Sesame Street (albeit with a reduced cast), it has...

    Sesame Workshop Trying To Have It Both Ways(Bert/Ernie issue)

    I do- that's one reason I try to make sure to read The Bible each day. And in reading Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus commands me to go into all the world and preach the Gospel- thus, in obeying His command, I try to share His Word wherever I can. (Though I do want to make sure it's not in a judgmental...

    Sesame Workshop Trying To Have It Both Ways(Bert/Ernie issue)

    It doesn't. It doesn't matter how much of The Law we follow- none of us follow it all. That's why we need Jesus- He is the Only Good and the Only One who has kept all of The Law. And regarding judging, Jesus also said- John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous...

    Sesame Workshop Trying To Have It Both Ways(Bert/Ernie issue)

    Thanks for answering my question. And I agree that calling anyone subhuman is awful and just as sinful. By the way, I don't know if you still consider yourself a Jehovah's Witness or not, but I'm sorry if I said anything to offend you regarding the religion- but that is the viewpoint of most...

    Sesame Workshop Trying To Have It Both Ways(Bert/Ernie issue)

    I don't believe The Bible contradicts itself and I don't see any issue of making a loophole. God definitely wants Christians to tell other Christians when they are in sin. And God also calls on Christians to preach the Gospel in all of the world- part of that is pointing out the reason why we...

    Oh, okay- thanks for the clarification.

    Have they sung this Christmas carol at some point? I know they sang "I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day" in "Muppet Family Christmas"- one of my favorite Christmas carols- along with "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" and a ton others).... or are you just referring...

    Songs You Can't Stand

    I love "The Christmas Shoes"- it's a great song. Of course, I guess I tend to love all the "sappy" and "sugary" and "sweet" and "saccharine-filled", etc. type stuff anyway.:laugh: And just for the record, the song is based on a true story, so that might help lend it some credibility.

    Rewind Reviews: A Special Sesame Street Christmas

    Cool- I like "A Special Sesame Street Christmas" - it's very much a classic variety show special of the late '70s that seemed to be all the rage then. It's a shame more of the show's characters weren't there, as far as Muppets anyway, but it was still a fun special for what it was. There's...

    Classic SSL Photo

    That's pretty cool! I see Simon Soundman was in there along with Granny Fanny Nesselrode it looks like- nice range of characters.

    Sesame Workshop Trying To Have It Both Ways(Bert/Ernie issue)

    I imagine anyone would consider it hurtful to be called something like "wicked". However, that is God's call there. And He says that homosexuality is a sin, just as lying is a sin. A perpetual liar also gets bullied with phrases like "liar, liar- pants on fire" (and yes- I know that is nothing...

    You've lit a candle and held a funeral for Thig and Bruno and Seymour and the other Muppets who seemed to have passed on.:sigh::cry::sympathy:

    Sesame Workshop Trying To Have It Both Ways(Bert/Ernie issue)

    For the record, as a Christian, I do support anti-bullying efforts. Certainly no one should be bullied for any reason. I definitely don't want to see kids feel and/or get harassed, be alienated, get beat up and attempt suicide and possibly even succeed in that effort. That is incredibly sad to...

    Sesame Workshop Trying To Have It Both Ways(Bert/Ernie issue)

    Again- and please don't take this the wrong way as I don't want to stereotype anyone and I mean no disrespect or ill-content by it-I'm just curious on this- but why exactly are terms like "colorful, musical and vaudevillian" associated with gays or considered "gay-friendly"? Why is the rainbow...

    Sesame Workshop Trying To Have It Both Ways(Bert/Ernie issue)

    Two quick things here. One, Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses may call themselves Christians, but I would call them cults as they add to God's Word and alter it and do not believe fully in the deity of Jesus Christ. (or at all.) Not saying anyone did, but I would ask that people be careful about...

    Sesame Workshop Trying To Have It Both Ways(Bert/Ernie issue)

    Just to make clear- I don't like when people decide what is and isn't God's judgment. All I can say on natural disasters and disease, etc. is that it happens to everyone and it is the result of the fallen world we live in. I do believe God passes out judgment but He also extends grace and mercy...

    Sesame Workshop Trying To Have It Both Ways(Bert/Ernie issue)

    There's also Queequeg and Ishmael in Herman Melville's "Moby-Dick" back in the 1800s- but both were straight. I don't know of any outrage over that... there was a time when you did have those kinds of things and no one thought much about it- a more innocent time like heralde said.
